20世纪70年代,美国南加州大学经济学教授理查德·伊斯特林通过研究发现了经济增长与国民快乐的不一致性问题,即收入增长到一定程度,国民的快乐与幸福感不再随着收入增长而增长。研究显示,在人均GDP较低阶段,GDP的增长使幸福曲线的上升坡度很陡;而到了人均3000至5000美元的水平后,GDP进一步增长并不能带来同比例幸福感的增长。美国、日本等一些发达国家均出现了这种“伊斯特林悖论”现象,亦有人将其称之为“幸福一收入之谜”。伊斯特林的《经济增长可以在多大程度上增进人们的幸福》以及提出的幸福悖论被认为是幸福经济学
In the 1970s, Richard Easterling, a professor of economics at the University of Southern California, found through research that there was inconsistency between economic growth and national happiness. That is, when the income increased to a certain extent, the national happiness and well-being no longer Increase revenue growth. Studies show that at a low GDP per capita GDP growth rate makes the curve of happiness rise steeply; at a level of between USD 3,000 and USD 5,000 per capita, further GDP growth does not bring the same level of happiness. Some developed countries such as the United States and Japan have all witnessed this phenomenon of “Easterling Paradox”, which some people call “the mystery of happiness and income”. Easterlin’s “How Economic Growth Can Enhance People’s Happiness” and the proposed paradox of happiness are considered to be the economics of happiness
